Looking for an OCD specialist therapist

Makaria

For anyone who had OCD treatment with a therapist, what did they specialize in and how did it go?? I just had an intake appointment with a talk therapist. I'm not sure whether to continue with her. I want a therapist who specializes in OCD and maybe exposure therapy. She says she specializes in OCD because it's under anxiety and panic disorders. But I walked away sort of feeling off and suspicious.

      One on hand it's good to go to a few appointments with her just to see if she can help you. On the other, I completely understand the dilemma and would also ask to see someone else. I'm in an OCD group therapy but have a therapist in mind for aftercare and I'm set on seeing him because he specializes in OCD, and I really think he'd understand me more than say an anxiety therapist. I've also learned about NOCD, which may help you.

      NOCD is great because they have different subtypes and they have online therapy options. Idk what insurance they cover though.

        @Ladoo thanks for your insight! I'm navigating this by myself and I feel so overwhelmed😥 I'll look into NOCD
